[Football] Carabao Cup 2nd Round

[Hendrax]

Salford win on Pens

Marcus Dackers the 6ft 7in 20 year old playing for Salford used to be on our books. Didn’t remember him but he made 7 appearances for our U18s before he was released at the end of 20/21 season.

As I stated in post #18.

Oh if only Palace had gone. Would've been a perfect night of cup football

Yes I’d noticed too. @OfficialOldMan’s point is of course valid though - the date for our 3rd round game will have to be Wed 27 as we play Bournemouth on Sun 24 and have the early game v Villa on Sat 30. That’s exactly the reason why RDZ has been rotating including the keepers because with the first Europa game on Sep 21 we actually have 4 games in 9-10 days!

The actual run will be worse than that.

16th September Man Utd (a)
21st September First Europa League game
24th Septmeber Bournemouth (h)
27th September League Cup 3rd Round
30th September Aston Villa (a)
5th October Second Europa League game
8th October Liverpool (h)

That's 7 games in 23 days (The longest break we get in this run of fixtures is 4 days without a game). Thankfully after the Liverpool game there is an international break (as if that makes much difference).

The actual run will be even worse than that.

16th September Man Utd (a)
21st September First Europa League game
24th Septmeber Bournemouth (h)
27th September League Cup 3rd Round
30th September Aston Villa (a)
5th October Second Europa League game
8th October Liverpool (h)

That's 7 games in 22 days thankfully after the Liverpool game there is an international break (as if that makes much difference).

* 23 days.

Just got back from Tranmere v Leicester.
0-2 but Tranmere had some decent chances. Lots of pantomime with Jamie Vardy.

Apart from former scholar Marcus Dackers helping to knock Leeds out of the competition, two other former Albion players did themselves proud this evening playing for Peterborough. Posh, despite going down to 10 men for the final 30 minutes, edged out Portsmouth on penalties.

Goalkeeper Fynn Talley made his senior (English) debut and David Ajiboye scored Posh's goal and then fired in the winning penalty in the shoot-out.

Is the 3rd round still split north and south? Hoping for an away at a ground not previously visited

 

[Justice]

Looks like they had the full first team out to get the job done

No, it's not regionalised.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Pompey, Leeds and Massive out - Carrabao will remove their sponsorship tomorrow I guess.

Chelsea 0 Wimbledon 1

 

[AZ Gull]

Former Albion players galore at Stamford Bridge this evening. Sanchez, Colwill and Cucurella starting for Chelsea (with Caicedo on the bench); James Tilley starting for AFC Wimbledon.

And it would be James Tilley who is first on the scoresheet!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Sanchez concedes a penalty and Tilley scores it!!!

 

[ManOfSussex]

Sanchez gives away a penalty and Wimbledon score it. Chelsea 0-1 Wimbledon. James Tilley the scorer.

 

[PHCgull]

What are they saying on the shed end?

 

[AZ Gull]

Andrew Moran started for Blackburn this evening at Harrogate.

 

[Eddie Bee]

Nice play by Moran to set up third goal

 

[Change at Barnham]

Andrew Moran started for Blackburn this evening at Harrogate.

An assist for Andrew Moran for Buckley to put Blackburn 3-0 up in the 34th min.
